Thailand Now Has the World’s Worst Stock Market

Rising coronavirus cases in Thailand dimmed the outlook for a quick rebound in tourism, sending the nation’s equities benchmark to rank as the world’s worst performer.

 

Thailand’s SET Index’s 5.1% slump on Wednesday, most in six years, came after the government said confirmed cases of the virus rose by three to 40, fueling fears of a wider spread. The benchmark gauge’s 14% decline this year, the most among the world’s key equity indexes, has also plunged it into a bear market from a recent high.

The virus outbreak hit tourism-reliant Thailand particularly hard because Chinese tourists, its biggest source of foreign visitors, have all but vanished. Income from tourism, accounting for about fifth of the economy, tumbled last month. That’s exacerbated the effects of a severe drought, a delay in the government’s budget and an export slump in Southeast Asia’s second-biggest economy.

You're right, I suggest you wait until they are at the peak before buying, just to make sure the recovery is real!

We have known for a long time that Thai and arithmetic has been more than two ;

 

Only in Thailand a cake can be made up of ingredients whose total sum is greater than 100%

No, storm in a teacup, once corona gets the same treatment as influenza and this silly panic dies down teflon Thailand will rise from the ashes, of course the the students who are awakening from their lethargy could prolong and even exacerbate the situation, all previous unrest arises from the students (a worldwide phenomena) the government ignores them at their peril. Anything that lowers the Baht has my approval though.

Indeed. Guess many posters see this headline and get dizzy with excitement at the chance to knock Thailand. They should check out how other stock markets are doing!

If you believe the market will recover, buy some now. If it drops much further (to -20%), buy more. It only has to recover to barely above this level to break even. 

Buy GOLD!

Buy Gold, Silver and Bitcoin
